Take That Crappy Manitoba Spring

By now everyone knows it has rained a wee bit too much, so I will not waste time on the weather right now.  I do want to take this opportunity to brag about my cucumbers though.  We ate our first cukes out of the field on June 11!  I do not know why they are so early.  Last year we had them at the end of June, and I thought that was incredible.  Now if only it would dry up I could go pick them.  It is a little frustrating when I can see the cucumbers from the edge of the field, but when I step into the field I start to get a sinking feeling.  I guess that will happen after 5-1/2 inches of rain in one week.  (Oops, I was not supposed to talk about the weather.)  At this point I do not think it is worth making hard packed footprints when we should have cukes for the next two months. 

We are harvesting a great selection of other vegetables these days.  The best lettuce of the year is now available, along with kale, collards, radishes, green onions, broccoli and more.  Other than a few stressed-looking low spots, the crops are looking great.  We are getting excited for a busy, tasty harvest season.

In other news, summer must be here…my frozen water lines have thawed.

The greenhouse is in full bloom and the girls love to play with the flowers that are trimmed off the hanging baskets.
